A strong high-class X flare has been recorded on the Sun.

A powerful flare of the highest class X was recorded in the Sun in the early morning hours. This was announced by Mikhail Leus, chief specialist of the Phobos Weather Center.

"In the early morning hours, a strong flare of the highest class X was recorded in the Sun. According to preliminary data, its capacity was X1.95 points," Leus wrote on his Telegram channel.

The peak of solar activity occurred at 5:49 Moscow time. According to the expert, this outbreak has become one of the five most powerful since the beginning of 2025. However, the source of the flare, a group of sunspots, is located far from the Sun—Earth line, so the probability of plasma ejection on our planet is close to zero.
